While many of us would not be considered “admirers“, it is a rightful thing to keep a good thought and prayer for his family during this stage of his life.
Psalm 23, a psalm of David:
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restoreth my soul. He guides me along the righteous path for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley in the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou are with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
~ Amen
Real election “collusion” jimmy except it was Clinton & the Chinese in 1996!
Following the advice of Thumper from Bambi I see.
Colkitto not the time for comments like yours!
Colkitto, I am struggling as the Canal Zone was my home, the next most influential, after Queensborough.I get it.
My friends in Rhodesia. Ty I meant no disrespect.
He did a lot of harm to this great country of ours. Hard to forget.
I can honestly say Cousin Jimmy (16th Cousin according to 23 and me) was the worst President until now. I guess he can finally go home to meet his maker knowing he wasn’t the worst.
The last trio of democrat geniuses push him out of any consideration whatsoever. And he was the weakest leader we had ever had up to that point
He is a nice man but a horrible president. Still think Obama has him and Biden beat for damage to this country however.
Biden and Obama are one and the same.
Did you give cousin Billy the recipe for Billy Beer
Amen
Prayers to the Carter family.
Thank you Sundance for your humanity. May all his loved ones be there till the end.
Well said Kristin.
I don’t know who said it first but (paraphrased) “some people only learn enough religion to hate.”
sundance (and you) have learned much more.
Thank you Sundance……and Kristin for your response. We may be conservatives, but we are first and foremost Christian.
Carter was a pretty bad President but I think he made up for that a bit with his commitment to Habitat for Humanity.
It’s certainly more than Obama ever did.
My prayers and good wishes go out to his family in this obviously trying time.
Nothing makes up for his poor leadership which affected millions of Americans negatively
He was arrogant in thinking he could do the job
That said his time as president does not reflect his entire life
We should pray for him
However I will not be able to pray for a lengthy list of traitors in government starting with Obama Biden pelosi and McConnell
Habitat for Border Jumpers? That organization? They kind of fell out of favor with me when I saw them bringing in the granite for the countertops.
A lot of that is donated. They run the ReStore stores and get some supplies that way.
Yes and the ones who called the Master Gardners to come weed the shrub beds after the Master Gardners installed at NO Charge to them.
Two words to the Carter Family, Teachers Unions. Nice legacy.
Panama Canal – gave away one of the most strategic waterways in the world away to Panama and the ink had hardly dried when Panama gave China a lease where they control the canal for 99 years.
Yeah, Have to agree with you there.
Remember him for some of the following. Gas lines, even/odd gas fill ups, 15% + bank deposits CDs returns, 55 mile per hour interstate speed limits, No greater than 5% wage increases are a few of the things burned into my mind.
However, once he left, his work, building Homes for Habitat for Humanity was a bit for redemption. His International Election Integrity Commission, not so much.🤔
Agree except Nixon was the National 55 MPH.
TY, Appears that my rememberer is not as good my forgetter 🤔🤔.
Being an old fossil my neurons aren’t always firing properly. 🤔
We ate a lot more 55 under Carter than Nixon.
I was on the swim team in high school and remember the heater for the pool water being turned off. It was COLD.
With those 15%+ bank returns came 17%+ loan rates.
I just remembered the Iranian hostage crisis and the failed attempt to rescue them.
“The bigger the lie, the more people will fall for it”
Jimmy Carter: Trump is president because of Russian meddling
Jimmy Carter is taking a swipe at the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s presidency, saying Russian interference in the 2016 election was responsible for putting Trump in the White House
https://www.wthr.com/article/news/politics/jimmy-carter-trump-president-because-russian-meddling-1/531-ab46d78c-d4ff-4c21-ae45-be8ac8f8a99b
FTA: “……he believes Russia’s meddling “if fully investigated………”
Just spouting the official party propaganda. Loyal little soldier to the end. Knows full well if fully investigated won’t happen, as that would expose their crimes and not what they accuse Trump of doing.
Ty for seeing the point and expanding on it. They were all on it, hundreds of thousands of them, It only takes 2 or more people to be a conspiracy.
I’m sure at that point the Party was spoon feeding him on what to say about the 2016 election.
May God have Mercy on President Carter. I pray for him, his family and for his eternal rest.
Amen
Amen..
I don’t.
My hope is that he is buried face up in an outhouse so that we can return the favor.
Amen.
Carter was woefully unprepared for the demands of the Presidency, but I do believe he was a generally honorable man who attempted to serve his country well, even though I disagreed with many of the positions he took and the decisions he made.
The fact that he was never involved in any of the inner machinations of the DC swamp once he left office tells me that he was not a part of the Bush/Clinton/Obama cabal.
He was, IMHO, a gullible man with strong streak of self-righteousness who would never admit how badly he was taken advantage of, much like Mike Pence. Similarly, Carter was saddled with a thoroughly unpleasant wife, with a chip on her shoulder!
I wish his family well in his final days- hospice at home is a blessing and I hope he has made his peace with God, as it sounds like he will be meeting Him very soon.
“…he was a generally honorable man…”
Honorable men do not support the murder of innocent children.
I think he bought into the Democratic party line that he was personally opposed to abortion but supported it being legal in certain rare situations…which I believe was the same position Joe Biden and many prominent Democrats took for many years!
Carter left office in 1980 and the Democratic Party then was a completely different animal from the Democratic party now! I suspect that he, like JFK, would not be welcome today!
Nope – that’s bad enough. But in recent years he said that Christians should support abortion – he changed his tune for popularity.
The Democratic Party is in full support of abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. Has Carter ever distanced himself from the Democratic Party?
It appears that the Demorats started their overt vitriol upon the election of Reagan in 1980. When he was re-elected 4 years later, they had a total meltdown and it has grown exponentially worse since then.
These Dems were just fine with go-along Carter, even though he had no clue how to run a Country.
Nixon, another faux conservative, caught a lot of naked lies and crap from the Dems and deep state before Watergate.
Nixon wasn’t 1/3 as paranoid as they try to make us believe. He definitely lived with Dems and military spying on him from early on. Nixon was in over his head.
Are you kidding me, he and JFK are a liberal as the rest of them. Are there any Kennedy’s who are not progressive? If JFK was alive he would have been just like Chappaquiddick Ted. I also agree with Colkitto, Carter was on board with the whole Russian hoax. I am sorry after the last few years I cannot give any of these folks any type endearment.
Just to add to your comment, I noticed the 3 globalist marxist amigo’s, Obozo,Bush, & Clinton snub him at former president events while yucking it up like the 3 fake enemies they really were/are.
The Three Amigos.
You mean the three stooges?
From what I have seen in the gatherings of past presidents, Carter always seems to be absent.
I do believe that Carter did see what was happening, but for some reason did not speak up.
Was it because at one time Carter attacked Obama’s policies.
A wife is losing her husband, a daughter, her daddy….and perhaps there should be joy for the family as their loved one will soon go to heaven. No pain, no worries…reborn. The man had a strong faith, so that is good. He did a lot of good…
Your sentiments mimic mine. To a point, I am a former Canal Zone resident so I have a bit of a problem being impartial.
I sincerely hope these last days are peaceful and comforting for Mr. Carter and his family. May the Lord hold them close.
AMEN.
its not about the people who lived there
its about the cost in dollars and people that
the US spent.
One cannot keep forgetting what the government does to its citizens.
Let’s hope they don’t sedate him and load him up with morphine to speed up the end.
I agree, Carter was totally unprepared for the demands of being POTUS. In some ways, he was naive; in other ways, he was arrogant, although he tried to portray himself as a humble peanut farmer from GA. I don’t believed he was evil and anti-America (like Joe); just a nincompoop.
Until Obiden was installed as POTUS, Carter was the worst President in my lifetime.
Takeaway: Jimmy (Jimmeh)Carter lived a long and productive life. Praying he finds peace and comfort as he transitions to his next phase of life.
Jimmy started or allowed a lot of Muslim and CCP infiltration….
Carter is notoriously anti-Semitic. Then there’s the tens of millions of Iranians who have suffered awfully since his support of the Iranian revolution.
His anti-American give away of the Panama canal.
And lest we forget, Mr. “I teach Sunday school cause I’s such a good Christian,” has come out in support of abortion (or what I like to call the torture murder of innocent babies).
98 is longer than almost everyone gets so no sorry here.
I had just returned to college from Christmas break…from the Panama Canal Zone…my home.
I remember watching the inaugural parade, on my little black and white Panasonic TV in my dorm room, and seeing their only child walking in between her parents, holding their hands.
Carter and Kissinger were responsible for the Canal give away.
I struggle to take “the log” out of my eye.
Both of them also responsible for the betrayal of Rhodesia. Ty for your personal story Aggie. My condolences.
Yes. Anti-semitic to the nth degree.
Yet when he got melanoma he was quite happy to take an Israeli invented drug for his cancer, which IMO has kept him
alive for so long
Israeli breakthrough helped cure Jimmy Carter’s cancer
Researched and tested at Tel Hashomer Sheba Medical Center, Keytruda fights tumors using the body’s natural immune system
https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-breakthrough-drug-helped-cure-jimmy-carters-cancer/
And he and he can leave this plane knowing that he was only the 3rd worst president is US history. The the other 2 have him beaten by a mile.
I am saving all of my glee for the Clinton’s.
With the Clintons we know heaven will not be there to welcome them.
Depends on how good their Adrenochrome works for them. Judging from Soros and Schwab, it must be pretty good!
I’m looking forward to BO’s and his bestie Eric Holder
Lulu, I’m old and won’t be here for Obola’s and Eric’s so you can enjoy and celebrate for me. 🙂
We’re keeping a bottle of Trump sparkling wine for Hillary.
Prayers always. It’s difficult to lose those we love.
Communist democrats and those who support abortion have no capacity for love. Unfortunately, Carter SAID he was a Christian. No way was he a Christian.
Nope, the 3rd worst president in my lifetime was just no good.
Over the last 3 years, I have lost a great deal of compassion for other humans, especially those of the anti-American, anti-liberty, anti-freedom persuasion so just can not forgive what these cretins have done while they were in office and beyond.
It is easy to criticize him, for what he did or did not do according to a free thinking perspective, yet all of us need to make that journey, and bias is an easy excuse for discretion. Good thoughts to his family.
Back in the day i liked that he seemed close to the people. I never liked his policies. May God be with him.
And we’re supposed to care about this why?
THIS^^^^^^
Because you are a human being and probably claim to be a Christian. That’s why.
It’s never too late for a soul to repent. So maybe, you know, just give the man a chance.
It’s never too late for a soul to repent.
Not true.
You got a reference for that?
Jesus forgave the penitent thief while he was dying on the cross.
Christians were supposed to learn a lesson from Luke’s account.
It’s never too late.
What about Judas?
How about those who take the mark of the beast ?
I would also mention those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit.
Sadly, you sound walled off from humanity.
I have no sympathy for Carter. I have sympathy for the people in East Palestine Ohio.
Because it’s impossible to have sympathy for both?
Just asking. It’s a fair question.
An important legacy of Jimmy Carter was the 2005 Carter-Baker Commission on Election Integrity. His Party has completely ignored the key recommendations.
Yes in other countries not ours.
I’ll pray for his surviving Family, not him, he is just another FILTHY LIBERAL, that made the world much worse for all of us.
You can’t support the torture and murder of an innocent newborn and get any sympathy from me. He isn’t dead yet so I’m not breaking the Treepers rules.
NO QUARTER
THIS^^^^^^
His entire clan are liberals, filthy liberals. I agree, no quarter.
He has been blessed with a very long life.
I wish him a peaceful transit.
The Lord decides the rest.
Amen
Big changes coming in the household…the SS who have been with him…change for them, too. Their mission will be completed soon.
I wonder how many of his SS have retired from serving with him. Bet it’s a bunch. Does Rosalind (?) still get SS?
I wish him a peaceful transit.
To the warmer climate that is in store for him.
Hey, does anyone think that jimmy found Jesus ?
Prayers for the Carter family…
Amen
I saw him give a speech at the USCGA years ago while my husband was in the USCG. It was actually a pretty good speech. He kept politics out of it.
Prayers to the Carter family.
Jimmy Carter is still eligible for a second term and would be the best candidate democrats could run in ‘24.
Can the DNC count on him to vote Demorat in the next election????? Probably, if the Dems in GA are in charge of the voter lists and the election.
Many years ago, I was at a healthcare convention in Houston.
Rosalyn Carter was the guest speaker and spoke about her initiative which was mental health.
I have never forgotten her crying on stage as she spoke of the personal pain caused by the people who didn’t want them in office and even those in their own party who wouldn’t help them.
This happened many years before I became interested in politics but in reflection the Carter’s had more humanity in them than any democrat since.
They did not have the skills nor the ideology to work with but in the only way they knew how; at least they had the capacity to care.
Yep, Carter wasn’t very good at being president, but I hope we can separate President Carter from Jimmy Carter. The latter, while not perfect by any stretch, was still a far better person than the vast majority of our presidents.
Wondering if China Joe is hearing the grim reaper…..
I remember as a senior in high school Jimmy running and beating Gerald Ford. And how taboo it was considered for a Baptist to give an interview to Playboy magazine.
I also remember double digit inflation and interest rates. The botched rescue mission for the Iranian hostages.
When Russia invaded Afghanistan I recall mentioning to my college roommate that the end of the world was nigh.
Ya…good times…not!
Praying for him the same thing as I would pray for myself. Salvation!
I was in a van pool at McDonnell Douglas for years and one of our riders had been an Iranian hostage. He never talked about it. I don’t remember how we found out he was one of them.
I remember Jimmeh saying that he was guilty for having lust in his heart. Me, art the age of 25 was taken aback.
doesn’t it sound like Mike Pence?
Like many others here, I didn’t agree with him politically. I do offer him and his loved ones prayers during this time. I pray that his transition into eternity is peaceful and that his soul is right with God. Rest in peace.
Bon voyage Jimmy.
There are only two presidents I’ve ever admired in my life. Only two that I could I look into their eyes and sense they weren’t mailing it in; that they genuinely cared for the people and the country. Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump.
I still remember my fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Strong—of the family of Ana Strong from the Culper spy ring—bringing in to class a portable black and white television so we could watch Carter’s inauguration. How she pointed out that he was the first President to walk to the White House after being sworn in.
Jimmy Carter’s also the only President in history to talk someone down from a bad acid trip. “Do you have any Allman Brothers?” Okay, call it apocryphal if you must, but despite all my revulsion at some of his policy choices, I remain as convinced as I was in the Fifth Grade that Jimmy Carter genuinely cares for America and its people.
I feel the same about Donald Trump. The Right elected him because he was the first candidate in decades who genuinely cared about them and the general welfare of their country. (As Sundance described here.) Someone who demonstrated an undivided loyalty to this nation and the people who entrusted him with the power to run it as a fiduciary should. He’s like Adam Baldwin in the movie My Bodyguard. Or, as Victor Davis Hanson put it, like Alan Ladd in Shane; “the gunslinging outsider” willing to take on the bullying, lawless, Leftist Democrats.
Bob, I agree.
After writing my comment up above about the Carter’s, I said in closing they did not have the skills nor the ideology but they did care.
The difference is that President Trump does have the skills and ideology to show results for how much he cares.
I’ve never been patriotic in a Rush Limbaugh kind of way, but even when I was most cynical, I was NEVER DISLOYAL and never harbored disloyal thoughts.
An American President that puts the interests of other nations, or the planet itself, above the interests of America and its people is categorically disloyal; no matter how self-righteous he may feel about it.
https://www.theorganicprepper.com/declaration-of-north-america/
I continue to be amazed at how many people must just hate this country because they are so hateful to the one president who loves it more than anything else. I know how it happened, but it just breaks my heart and I just know he will not be allowed to be on the ticket in 2024, the hatred is so bad.
Cheer up, in the end, they may end up hating themselves for what they’ve done, they’ll welcome Trump.
ignore the media who tells you these things
Where were you when Ronald Reagan was President? Mr. Reagan did more for Americans than anyone since George Washington.
Jimmy Carter cared mostly about Jimmy Carter.
Gotta say, Mr. Carter was more responsive to Three Mile Island than our current administration is to E Palestine. I will lower the thermostat and put on a sweater in honor of the peanut farmer. The darn things are highly cancerous due to the mold that grows on them. Killed Idi Amin, even. My wife stood in line to get a signed book when we lived in Georgia. Later she became aware of his sad story. Lord, we consign him to your care.
Peanut farmer…..
His money came from us in the form of Gov’t subsidies.
Yeah, leacher parasite Carter, a true democrat alright.
The democrats were pretty brutal when Rush Limbaugh passed away.
Not many good thoughts and prayers from their side.
Amen
So what? Evil will be evil. Does not mean we have to follow their playbook.
SD: Never allow politics to get in the way of thinking and doing the right thing.
.
He’s lived a fabulous life, and we all die.
.
Jimmy was a great teacher.
He taught me to never vote for a democrat.
I learned the lesson well.
“De mortuis nil nisi bonum.” – H/T to the Romans.
He has acknowledged Jesus, served his country in the military, and spent countless hours after his presidency helping the less fortunate.
How many in this country can claim the same?
He certainly has flaws, as we all do, and I disagree vehemently with many of his policies and personal views, but I believe he is essentially a good person, perhaps the last Democrat to be worthy of such an assessment.
I pray that his family find peace as he nears the end of his time on Earth, and that he finds the inner strength to sincerely repent for his support of abortion.
I offer the former President and his family my thoughts and prayers. After all, I’m not a liberal.
Repent Jimmy! Spill the beans about all the corruption in gobermnt!!
Do you seriously think they would have let Jimmy in on all the dirty details? NO WAY! Of all our former presidents, I think there are only 2 who the Deep State wouldn’t trust with their secrets: Carter and Trump
Here’s a faithful saying:
If you yourself want any mercy on that final day
Be eager to extend the same to others
I may feel for his family. But sorry Sundance,that anti-Semitic Carter gave me an 18% mortgage on my first house when young and financially strapped. Only the good die young.
I was born in 1951. Carter was the worst POTUS in my lifetime until Obama rigged his election both times (remember ACORN?). Obiden is just Obama’s puppet, so again as bad, if not worse than Obama.
Bottom line, Carter sucked as a POTUS. High taxes, high interest rates, gasoline rationing, American Marine hostages in the Middle East…. the sad thing is he “meant no harm.” He was purely and completely incompetent.
Be that as it is, I pray for his peace and comfort as he transitions to his next life, and I offer my condolences to his family.
I was a Democrat until 2008 and Obama happened so I voted twice for President Carter.
I’m ashamed of that now after I have opened my eyes to the evil in that party.
It was also a different time back in the late 70s but yeah no excuses I admit I screwed up.
While I don’t think he was a good President I don’t think he was the worst President either. Obama and Biden take those slots.
I never felt President Carter hated America and worked to destroy it like those two Presidents did and are still doing. Athough he did do some pretty stupid things.
I am praying for President Carter and his wife and family. I still believe he’s a good man who was just in way over his head and tried his best. He had no clue. May God have mercy on his soul.🙏🙏🙏
Ineptitude and human failings can be understood and forgiven. I believe Carter fell prey to those, even though I believe he loved the United States and meant well.
Deliberate evil, as practiced by every other president since Carter’s time other than Reagan and Trump, is a whole different ballgame.
I agree. Cater made some dumb mistakes but I don’t think it was under the direct control of the evil one.
I remember he said he had lusted in his heart for a woman in an interview.
A confession made public.
https://www.ajc.com/news/when-jimmy-carter-lusted-his-heart/kzdD5pLXvT3qnf5RyJlIiK/
Unlike bill clinton who got caught and then got religion. Clinton took advice from the rev action jacson who had a secret love child at the time.
Say hello to your buddy Hugo Chavez soon Jimmy.
It is good to see we finally have a worse President that Jimmey Carter. Mr. Carter was a decent person although I totally hated his policies. It is really good to see he is being upstaged (downstaged?) by Biden.
Carter was an incompetent president. However, I do not think he was purposely evil. He was not good for our country. On the other hand, absence the proof of malice, may he meet his maker in peace.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
God Bless, President Carter served before a lot came out that, we now, know. May GOD bless him and his family as he is put to his eternal rest.
The only POTUS I saw in person. Never forgot, the Secret Service had wide ties, and drove Oldsmobile 98s LOL.
Not a fan. Carter is a globalist like the rest. These people are my enemy.
Amen.
“While many of us would not be considered “admirers“, it is a rightful thing to keep a good thought and prayer for his family during this stage of his life.”
Thank you for those words, Sundance.
You are correct, of course. (when I read them I moved from thinking “I don’t care” to “I will keep him and his family in my prayers”)
Mr. President Carter, may you stand tall and walk unaided to meet our savior.
Dear Lord, Please take Illegitimate Joe instead.
Amen.
